Chapter Ten: Reunions and Explanations

The creature was laying on a gurney in the lab. We kept calling it a creature because it had covered every part of its body so you couldn't tell anything about it. Me and Lina were still in our mobian forms watching intensely as we helped to remove the top layer of clothing. We unwrapped a cloak that covered most of the body, including the head. When we removed it, we saw that the creature was actually a human! I heard someone make a squeaking noise nearby, it turned out to be Swift! He had a big exclamation point over his head and for some reason...tears in his eyes.

"Chris!" he whispered. I activated my chaos sense with Nika, and what we saw explained it all, well, almost. I grabbed Fiona's hand and Nika thought

'They have the same chaos energy!'

'And Swift seems to know the boy...' Talia responded

"Do you think that means they were...!" I didn't even have to finish the thought; we all knew they were partners. I let go of Fiona's hand and asked Swift

"Ok, so what is really going on here?"

...

Swift and Miles looked at us with guilty expressions on their faces. Miles was the first to speak

"Now that you have found us out, I guess you have a right to know. No mobians ever went to space, and Sonic isn't a true mobian. We sent a holographic projection out to space so Dr. Eggman would follow and hopefully think that there were chaos emeralds in space. It worked, but after he left a new threat arose. The Golems came with their leader, an evil mobian calling himself Sclera, all of the humans and true mobians went to fight, but they left us behind so if they lost, there would be someone to call for new heroes and take the role as leader of the chao. Chris and Swift were the first beings to use a chaos morpher which I actually designed. We lost contact with the fighters a few months ago, and ever since we have been getting ready to send new heroes to aid our friends." he finished. We stared at Chris, Miles, Swift, and each other, taking it all in. I remained calm as I responded

"Well how do we wake him up?" Miles contemplated this as I touched my hand to his forehead and activated the chaos sense. I tried to send some messages to him, but all I got were feelings of frustration and anger.

"Swift, you should try, he might listen." Fiona suggested. Swift looked at her with sad eyes and answered

"My chaos sense is not what it used to be, it is not as powerful as it was."

"Well then, me and Nika will give you a boost." I took hold of Swift's hand and touched Chris' forehead again as I activated the chaos sense.

'Chris, Chris! Can you hear me? It's Swift, your friend.' we waited for a response

'Come on Chris! Don't leave me!' I could feel his anguish and pain. We waited once more for a response from Chris, and I got something!

"S-S-Swift? Is that you?" he thought, I could feel how weak he was

'Chris! You're alright! Rest for now, we can speak later."

"Ok..." I ended the chaos sense and told Miles the result.

"At least he is alive, we'll keep monitoring him through the night and make sure he is stable, but now you all get some rest, it's getting late. We nodded as me and Lina turned back to human form and headed up the stairs with Nika, Talia, and Swift.

"Everything is going to be ok, Swift, I promise." I whispered. His dot turned into a heart as we went our separate ways for the night.
